Sobre IBD

A slacker-lit novel about lost love, bad decisions, and a Plymouth Barracuda that barely runs-set in the suburban sprawl of 1980s California.Home for the summer in Silicon Valley after his first year at Berkeley, Colin drifts through fading family ties, old friendships, and the bittersweet pull of first love-only to find that nothing feels quite the way it used to. But by the novel’s end, he knows he can’t go back. Packed with road trips, keggers, and the kind of nights that felt like they’d last forever, Mountain View captures the blur of a summer where everything changes.With snapshots of ’80s life throughout-from answering machines to VHS players to cassette tapes-Mountain View will make a fun read for Gen Xers who want to remember 'the good old days,' and for younger generations looking for an authentic glimpse into a pre-digital world.A coming-of-age story for anyone who loved Catcher in the Rye, Less Than Zero, or Dazed and Confused.

    Stuart Evans’s first novel is a comedy-of-ill-manners set in a nouveau riche milieu: a fantastic satirical performance and hyper-referential homage to masters past and present. Paul Keller is the Stephen Dedalus of the piece, the son of Robert and Sylvie, whose internal monologue is spliced into the action, and whose incestuous feelings for his sister lead to an increase in his...

For years, they existed only on a floppy disk, half-forgotten in the back of my desk drawer. They are presented here in their original form-time capsules from a bygone era.If you enjoy these stories, look for my novels Mountain View, Kato, and Firenze-a loos...
